Hi everyone - any thoughts - (I know in the end I will have to go to the GP but for now - any thoughts?) - years ago I had strange sensations of pressure and discomfort in original breast before lump appeared and then was diagnosed - that took a few years from start to finish …now 2 and three quarter years after diagnosis I am getting really pressured feeling behind nipple in remaining breast - but then again i feel hormonal in other ways too, a bit tearful, need choclate etc etc…no periods anymore …
anyone its freeking me out as its so similar to the old wierd unspecified feeling - but no lumps - my OH is an onc and she checked!!!
your thoughts gratefully received, Nicola

Worth getting checked out. With any luck it is nothing, or maybe some kind of hormonal pain, but we are all going to worry because of our original diagnosis, and there isnt really a way of putting your mind at rest without getting it checked.
I didn’t ever have a lump that anyone could feel, and I had a nagging pain in the breast which was dx and a cyst - which everyone was clear was nothing sinister and - while this was confirmed as a cyst - I was found to have a very deep-seated 8mm bc which wouldn’t otherwise have been found for 2 or 3 years. So, it may well and everything crossed for ou that it is, nothing. but not all bcs present with a lump, and if it was me I would want rest reassure myself that all is well Xx

oh and ringing the GP is magic - all pain / pressure goes away as soon as you lift the phone …at least i know enough not to trust that hilariously synchronised happening!
